Simon Veteran Posted April 3, 2006 Veteran Share Posted April 3, 2006 Opera, but I like forefox more. There isn't much of a speed difference that I've noticed, but Opera has the edge. I might switch over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrutalFluid Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I think I'm going to switch over to Opera. But how do I import my favorites if I export them with Firefox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoopZ Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I think I'm going to switch over to Opera. But how do I import my favorites if I export them with Firefox? In Opera goto FILE IMPORT/EXPORT menu and you will find all the options you need there. Also you can play about with the default look of the interface to make it more normal like IE and Firefox if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slimy Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 The 64-bit version of IE 6 isn't going to be noticeably faster than the 32-bit version. What you do probably notice is that it starts and responds faster because it almost certainly has no BHOs loaded, whereas I'm betting your 32-bit version has a dozen or so. actually the 32bit one has only one, the acrobat reader. But that shouldn't matter much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Safari or Camino, honestly. Safari has a faster rendering engine, but Camino has a more responsive UI and faster page scrolling/resizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abc@home Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Why not do some benchmark tests yourself? There are dozens in the web and here's a few (make sure you're comparing apple to apple though. While IE does not have all the features available in FF/opera, IE shells have most, if not all): http://www.24fun.com/downloadcenter/benchjs/benchjs.html http://wd-testnet.world-direct.at/mozilla/.../jsTimeTest.htm http://www.numion.com/Stopwatch/ The rendering speed difference is really minimal, but you'd be surprised that IE is not the slowest and Firefox is far from the fastest (talking about under windows naturally). ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primexx Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 For me Firefox because I have tweaks in place, however on DEFAULT SETTINGS Opera does load faster than any of my other browsers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tristan Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I like Mozilla Firefox. I don't know if it's the fastes browser out there, but I like it a lot. same here.... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naap51stang Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I guess it all depends on what you really want out of a browser. Personally, I like firefox...is it the best/fastest? Well, that doesn't matter to me. What I wanted was a browser that I could CUSTOMIZE easilly MY way. I have browser extensions, themes, bookmarks etc configured the way I want....not the way company X wants me to have them. Are there better, faster or whatever? Probably...Nice thing today, unlike a few years ago, there are several browsers you can download for free and try out for yourself. I found the one I like, hope you find one you like. :alien: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nXqd Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 same here.... :D hic, we want to know the fastest, not browser do you like Honestly, i say OPera. But I use Maxthon now :whistle: FF = :wacko: Opera = Not enough plugins :laugh: Maxthon = small, I just say very small (In memory ;) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illicit Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I would have to say Opera at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mole001 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Cold Start: IE6/IE7 Warm Start: IE6/IE7 + Bon Echo has it's moments Page Render: Bon Echo So both IE and Bon Echo have their pros and cons for me. I like to be able to just open a window and away i go. So I get a bit fed up at times waiting for Bon Echo/Firefox to start up, but they load pages MUCH faster ive found. Hopefully improve start times in the final :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted April 5, 2006 Veteran Share Posted April 5, 2006 ... I would say the number one browser used is IE, then Firefox and then MAYBE opera... ... Going by market share it's IE (85%), Firefox (10%), Safari (3%), Opera (0.5%), then all the other browsers. Or so i have read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rschultz2002 Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 For very large image sites I would say Opera 9 is the fastest at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chavo Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Well the fastest browser for me is Konqueror. It's the only browser I can stand to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcv Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I refuse to even try Opera these days. Long story, though. Suffice to say I don't trust them nor have I ever found anything of use in their previous versions. I'm sorry to hear that. Without knowing your reasons, I think that's a bit close-minded to not even want to try new versions, but whatever floats your boat. Internet Explorer because it's integrated. Is this a joke? The only thing that might affect is startup times, but nothing else. ---- For me, Opera is easily the fastest overall. The includes at loading new pages, displaying cache'ed pages (Opera's "fastback" mechanism is superior), opening/closing tabs, typing a url in the address bar (FF lags very slightly), and executing javascript.

gigapixels Veteran Posted May 4, 2006 Veteran Share Posted May 4, 2006 /me loves the Bon Echo builds of Firefox. Much faster than the current releases but not unstable at all (for me at least). Opera has always seemed slow to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
